Tatts. You have until Morgy makes a move to change your mind. You really, really ought to.


There's a reason I used those two particular ship names. I figured somebody would come after me in my "vulnerable" condition.

Ah, c'mon. Give yourself credit. You started planning this about halfway through round 2.

I'm happy with the hexes I have including Vega. I plan to keep them just like twelve. I want to make my home impregnable. Cannot fight you and Drek gnaw. If I go back on my word then you won't trust me in future.


That's when I knew you couldn't be trusted. :p

Well, I already knew that. It confirmed it for this game.

So so eager to pass. I'm curious, how many reactions do you think you can afford? Especially with a two front war?

Discard materials cube.

Diplo twelve?



There are two problems. The first is you can't form a new diplomatic relation until someone else takes the traitor card from you. The second is I would have to discard a 3 point reputation tile to accept it as I have no more room to accept such a card so I'm not going to do that.


He's just plain not thinking.

I would've asked you the same, twelve, after Gnaw took the card, but it seemed insulting just to suggest you discarding a 3-VP rep tile. Figured I'd wait and ask later after Tapper betrays you :p/>



Yeah if I had room I probably would have accepted as it would have been a slightly greater disinsentive to come after me. I guess I could always pick up the Diplomatic Fleet to add additional space for such things......

Hmmmmm
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Do the simulation. Nothing you can field scares me. When I take your homeworld which I will I will continue on into your territory.

Drek won't want to fight me yet. Twelve is happy enough in the centre, you are my picnic

One question: Morgy, think your dread can take out a single interceptor? Specifically the one in hex 253.

Btw, Morgy. Tatts will be busy else where so I don't think he'll be there to greet you.



Cloaking Device is a wonderful thing. Even if it's not mine.

@D'rek In case you hadn't noticed, Tatts made his move. His move gives the Khan an expansion route that doesn't go through your territory. I'm willing to be that nobody would blame you for repositioning your forces for the inevitable confrontation with Twelve.

Just a thought.

I have enough to good another dread. My one dread can take out a host of your ships so please build more and waste your materials :p I'm not done with just your home world. Couple more hexes from you would be nice.

You don't have many moves left either by the way. I could do another two, three if pushed.Tu

I have zero desire to fight D'rek as she is the only player right now that can probably wipe the floor with me. Her fight with Morgy was a gift as it gives me time to defense up.

Gnaw is being very diplomatic :p I am coming Gnaw. I am coming. I will sacrifice a few hexes like 107 next round :p D'rek doesn't need a war with me, morgoth and Twelve. Right now, Twelve is the biggest worry for everyone on the board with his VP total and if D'rek and Tapper want to win which they will. They will have to either trim him down or take over their neighbours. Out of Twelve and I I think d'rek may take on him because he only needs a couple of one hits. I can see him grabbing plasma missiles next round though.

Your choice. *shrug*

It will be a Phyrrhic victory for either of us.

I think I shall name the next ships Gallipoli and Dunkirk.

What does that even mean? I don't see what you're talking about at all here...

And my ships are pinned so how exactly would they move anywhere?

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Wow I go away for a few days and all hell breaks loose. SS and tapper just need to start a war now, and twelves inevitable march to victory will be ready to go (i can't quite believe you are all letting him grab the double ancient tile and another discovery).

I think you've overstretched yourself a bit there gnaw, but we'll see what happens it could work out for you. I wonder what will have happened next time I check in!

Edit: also the diplomatic fleet is ridiculously good value - 6 materials, for probably another 2-3 vp bargain
